Frequently Asked Questions

Make sure to use the INSIDE dimension for all box measurement.
​Dimensions are always given in order of LENGTH, WIDTH and DEPTH (height)
  • LENGTH is the larger of the two dimensions of an open-faced box as it is set up for filling.
  • WIDTH is the smaller dimension of the open face.
  • DEPTH (height) is measured from the top to bottom of a box set up for filling.
Customized Boxes:
  • End opening boxes are measured as if they were top opening.
  • Tubes and folders with three dimensions are measured the same way as boxes. Length is the larger of the two dimensions of the open face and width the smaller.
If you need help measuring or describing box sizes, please feel free to contact us and we'll gladly help you through the process.

Regular Slotted Continer (RSC)

RSC is the most common and frequently used box style. Flaps are one-half the container width so the outer flaps meet at the center of the box when folded. This design is efficient and cost effective.

Full Overlap Container (FOL)

FOL boxes have outer flaps which, when closed, come within one inch of complete overlap. The FOL box style is resistant to rough handling, and offers extra padding when stacked on its bottom panel, and extra stacking strength when stacked on its side panels.

Half Slotted Container (HSC)

The HSC is used when an open-top box is required or when a box with a removable/replaceable cover is required.

One Piece Folder (OPF)

The OPF is a flat piece of corrugated that is creased so that the flaps fold into the sides, ends, and top of the container. This design is popular for shipping printed materials.

Five Panel Folder (FPF)

FPF is a single cut and scored piece featuring a fifth panel used as the closing flap that completely covers the side panel. A closed box has several layers of combined board on each side providing stacking and protection for long products of small diameter.

Die Cut

A cut made with a die, but also the manufacturing process of cutting raw material to a desired shape. This type of manufacturing is used for specialty boxes of any shape and size.

Flute or Corrugation describes the wave-shape of corrugated board. The most common types are:
E Flute - Approximately 90 flutes per foot and 0.062 inches thick.
C Flute - Approximately 39 flutes per foot and 0.142 inches thick.
B Flute - Approximately 47 flutes per foot and 0.097 inches thick.
Corrugated Board or Corrugated Fiberboard is the structure formed by gluing one or more sheets of fluted corrugated material to one or more flat facings of linerboard. The two most common types are:
Single wall - One fluted corrugated medium glued between two flat facings of liner board.
Double wall - Two fluted corrugated mediums interleaved and glued to three flat facings of liner board.

Building Relationships

We treat employees, coworkers and customers like family and with respect. We want Watertown Box to be our employees second home and want our customers to be like longtime friends. Strong relationships are the foundation of who we are and these relationships extend far beyond the walls of our plant. We want our employees to feel valued and comfortable when coming to work and enjoy the people they work with.  Watertown Box  wants our employees and customers to know we truly care about them and will do anything in our power to help them succeed.

Taking Ownership

We expect each employee to be responsible and accountable for their actions. Mistakes happen, but far more important than the mistake itself is how we respond to it. No one is perfect and not every box that leaves our facility will be perfect, but as long as you strive to be better than you were the day before, we will welcome you into our box family with open arms.

 
If each employee takes ownership of their part in the Watertown Box family we can all rely on one another to provide corrugated solutions that exceed customer expectations.
 

Going the XtraMile

We deliver service and value that is above expectations. We separate ourselves from the competition by going above and beyond what is expected of us. Watertown Box strives to go the extra mile in the front office, on our production floor, and during deliveries. Our job is not done until the customer is 100% satisfied with our product and the experience from the first phone call to the last delivery. We want our employees to be proud they work for us, and we want our customers to be proud they do business with us.   We go the extra mile for each other and our customers to Build a Box Family.

We're equipped to handle orders of any size, but our sweet spot typically falls within the range of 500 to 5000 boxes. Whether you need a smaller batch or a larger production run, we've got you covered. Our flexible capabilities ensure that we can tailor our services to meet your unique requirements.
